These comments were on the original post by the dealership lol
I love a good 8ft bed but I genuinely think we need to legislate out crew cabs. They basically never actually hold a crew, they basically serve as a trunk to protect the bed from scuffs.
Bring back trucks as an appliance. No you cannot lean the seat back, you're at work. Zero noise cancellation, hard plastics, crank windows.
You claim to be a big tough blue collar man, yet you need "luxuries"? Curious...
Anyone who needs to haul stuff for work already has a sprinter van or a busted up 20 year old f150/ranger. Ban assault trucks frfr.
All trucks should be limited to cab-over two-seaters to limit length and reduce blind spots.
My old boss had a dump truck like this and it was sick. That thing had the tightest turning radius because you're seated in front of the wheels. Very useful for work in a city
also turbodiesel inline 6s tuned for maximum efficiency, they could do 1000Nm of torque and average 50mpg
hard agree. i hate how difficult it is to find a truck in the US domestic market that isn't a crew cab. like you gotta do some kind of fleet services voodoo. and then all you end up with is some giant pedestrian killer 5000 anyway.
it's infuriating how they keeping making vehicles that are the "All New Everything to Everyone XLT". every new vehicle is an SUV or Crossover, which are already the same thing anyway, functionally. like an SUV is a truck body mutilated into a bigass 4 seater with giant cargo space, while a cross over is a huge sedan body mutilated into a bigass 4 seater with giant cargo space.
every auto commercial is celebrating how much cubic volume is INSIDE the seating area too, like i give a fuck. and of course it's too gigantic to operate in a parking lot without 4 cameras stitching together a live display of the vehicle's surroundings on the over engineered center console display.
when i was like 19, for a short time i got to use my grandfather's old Dodge Ram 50 pickup that he used to handiman shit around the old people's community he lived in. crank windows, no AC, no power steering (lol, admittedly that was a bit shit when doing a 3 point turn). it was like this
except it had an 88" wheelbase (7 + 1/3 feet). i did not appreciate what i had and didn't fight it when it was sold off to some tradesman. i would murder for a truck like that now. fucking king of the road. sumbitch did everything in one trip.
I spent a summer as a shop hand, and the shop truck was a early 90s 2wd 2 seater tacoma and that thing was so low to the ground stock. It was basically like 1.5 standard steps to step into the bed. So easy to load and unload.
Agreed. They're exempt from certain laws and regulations due to being work trucks. So they should once again be designed for the purpose of being work trucks. Like they used to be.
Plastics? My old man’s pick up had a metal dashboard by gum
It looks like an April fools joke but in case anyone is curious, it's a real truck and it is 21 feet long. 4 doors with an 8 foot bed is available from other manufacturers as well. Here is a good article about it:
People who buy these are the same ones complaining that bikes take up too much space on the road.
Funny you say that, because the hoodie the guy is wearing is for a company that primarily makes motocross clothes/gear. Which leads me to think, this guy wanted a truck that could fit a motocross bike in the bed while still having four doors.
Oh you're probably right. Imagine, he could have a hatchback with a trailer hook instead. But nope, gotta cart around all that extra space for the 3 times a year you take your bikes to the motocross track!
Like half the parking lot at work is full of these monstrosities. My dude, you work in a factory and all of the transportation is done by professionals in semi-trucks, just get a sedan. Fuck, spend that $100k on a luxury sports car instead.
Fuck, spend that $100k on a luxury sports car instead.
This is what fucks me up about all these trucks. A $100k sports car would be way cooler and way more fun than an identical truck to every other thumb headed chud on the road
Yeah but if you don’t dodge those giant trucks in your zippy sports car you will be flattened like a pancake. Truck owners are paying to be the apex predator of the road
The amount of assholes that park these in parking garages without a second thought. That goes double for the massive assholes that park their own long bed truck in a spot across from someone else's Kiddy Crusher F250 King Super Crew Cab Platinum Limited Edition™ so that you have two truck beds blocking the driving space on opposite sides of the isle.
I'm about to start keying trucks in the company garage
It looks odd because of the bed proportions, I think. A forty year old pickup for example, single cab long bed, is only a foot shorter bumper to bumper. Well, the bumpers are a bit big on this one in particular but I've measured it.
The height doesn't help on this either. Pickup trucks used to be way lower in ground clearance.
2wd ones, for sure
That truck has nothing on this guy’s monstrosity. This 16ft bed pickup exists because somebody wanted it to
"somebody"
once told me
Getting one of these for the truck so i can do laps in the bed
HAHAHAHA that shit looks so bad
I had no idea this was going around. I saw it a week ago and just now got around to posting. That’s pretty funny
Rip the curbs at the grocery store.
lol, and every drivethru is gonna put a lot wear on the sidewalls
The European mind cannot comprehend this
True, I don’t understand why Amerikkkan cars are so huge.
gender-affirming care
To match our dicks.
cuz that shit is like a limo it's not shopped? what the fuck.
It looks wonky but I don't even hate this as much as the average US truck. At least a person is still somewhat visible through the windshield.
Also the bed is long enough to actually be useful.
Yeah I was gonna say, this isn't anywhere near as ridiculous as those trucks you see with beds that can carry about as much as you could in a Civic hatchback but are somehow still the size of a shipping container lol
The vestigial bed
lmao
There's not a lot of American cars where I live but once an a while I see a Dodge Ram or a Chevy Silverado, they're so much more monstrous than the average Toyota, it terrifies me.
i just want a hybrid or electric Hilux
.50 caliber HMG optional but preferred
New versions of Hilux are just the same usian pedestriankiller5000, you can't even put anything serious on the bed since its way smaller than it used to be :(
"Pfft! That thing's not even a dualie! It isn't even lifted! Call me when you get a real truck, Soy Boy"
Not even a singular truck nut to be found. Smhing my head.
Fucking hate working on bigass trucks and they’re annoyingly popular with chuds in my country. The only upside is that seeing one immediately tells you that the owner is an asshole.
Long bed trucks can come in handy, IF you actually USE them.
*getting stuck at the supermarket for an hour because somebody parked on three sides of you and you need either an open space behind you or next to you to get this thing out of a standard parking space
You could rear-end this guy and be halfway across town before he feels the impact
Toyota, bring back the lunge mine as a safety measure against these things.
